Product Description

A reproduction of the hypersonic X-15A (the fastest manned aircraft in history), this 1/72 scale resin model is a tribute to legendary pilot Joe Engle – the only person to have flown two different winged vehicles into space: the X-15 and space shuttle. It features authentic NASA markings, a simulated canopy, and an articulating display base. 9" long.

This is the first release from collectible aircraft model company AF-X: a rocket-powered aircraft of the
experimental X-series – the X-15A. Representing the third of three prototypes produced for a flight test program, the X-15
reached the edge of outer space and paved the way for aircraft/spacecraft design.
